Rodchenkov: The Truth About Doping – Is It Worth Fighting and Are There Any “Clean” Athletes

Grigory Rodchenkov is the man who told the world about the existence of a state doping program in Russia. For ten years, he was the director of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory. Thanks to him, Russia won the Olympics in Sochi. But in 2015, he went to the United States and told journalists and American authorities about how Russian athletes prepared for the 2014 Olympics. How “dirty” samples were swapped for “clean” ones in Sochi, and how the FSB and Putin were involved in all of this. Rodchenkov now lives in the United States under the witness protection program. His exact location is unknown, and his appearance has been changed. On the eve of the Paris Olympics, Rodchenkov published a book, &quot;Doping.
